use the decoys for a backpad and get as close as you can i never start calling until im within 100-75 yards at most, if you have to take off your boots to be quiet so be it{hot tip socks are pretty dang quiet and you break fewer sticks} get out of the fields and kill em in the woods that is where they live!

Where ever you decide to set up, stay 30 minutes more than your mind tells you to. I've been busted a couple of times by telling myself this spot ain't working.
I got to agree with this. Have been busted several times in my younger days for thinking something was done and moving too early. Ill even take a little power nap sometimes.

Be patient and leave the decoys at home.

For beginners: don't call more than one yelp series a half-hour and sit in a blind in a comfortable chair.
For erebody else: get closer, sit longer, know your terrain.
Is that more than one tip?

Don't be afraid to get close to a bird before setting up. Use the terrain and foliage to set up as close as possible to a gobbling bird. Also do not call to said bird until you are close and set up in the best possible location to kill the bird.

Also do not call to said bird until you are close and set up in the best possible location to kill the bird. also don't call to a bird that is obviously coming in, especially on public land... I made that mistake last year on sunday evening of opening weekend. He was strutting and making his way toward me, I clucked and purred, he got suspicious and left. Burned....

Pay attention to the weather. Rain particularly. Learn where they go under each weather condition. If you are not having any luck but looks like rain get close to the field. Light rain (not a monsoon)
